This article is about the All-New SimpliSafe system. If you purchased a system in 2017 or earlier, you have the Original SimpliSafe. If you're not certain which system you have, you can tell the difference here.
Installing Your Key Fob
If you are installing a new Key Fob, or reinstalling a Key Fob that was removed, it can be (re)added through your Keypad.
- Press Menu, enter your Master PIN, and open Devices.
- Select Add device.
- Scroll down to Key Fob, and click Add.
- Press and hold the red panic button located on the top of the Key Fob for 2 seconds, and release to add the component to your system.
- Name your Key Fob.
Different Key Fob Functions
You may select the function of the panic button on your Key Fob(s) from the Keypad as well.
- Press Menu, enter your Master PIN, and open Devices.
- Select the Key Fob you wish to modify.
- Scroll down, and select Panic Alarm.
- You can choose between Panic - audible, Fire, and Medical.
- Once you have decided who you want your Key Fob panic button to alert, make sure the selection is highlighted, and click Set.
- Repeat steps 2-5 if you want to change the function of the panic button on all of your Key Fobs.
Naming Your Key Fob
You have the option to name your Key Fob(s) during installation, however if you prefer to name your Key Fob(s) after installation you can do so by re-entering the Setup and Naming mode on your Keypad.
- Go to Menu, enter your Master PIN, and select Setup and Naming.
- Hold down the panic button on your Key Fob.
- You will be prompted to name your Key Fob.
We recommend putting the Key Fob on a keychain you carry, so that you can use it as a remote method of arming and disarming your system.
